Alienation

Alienation
Swirls of water, cold and blue,
Rush against weary battered hull.
Lone ship in the vast vast sea,
A speck of light in the dark loneliness.
Ahoy, what is there, a pinprick of light,
Could it be another ship alone like us?
We've not had another soul in sight,
It would be nice to meet one tonight.
A signal is flashed, a reply is given,
The other ship draws near.
As she pulls up alongside,
Men on both sides heartily cheer.
It's been a boon, we've had no company for months,
We can sail together, the loneliness is not fun.
Both Captains have some rum and a friendship is sealed,
Both crews feasts into the night, nobody knew.
For days and months, both ships sailed together,
Glad for the friendship on the cold dark seas.
It provided a warmth to the soul of the lonely,
And comforted men in times of crisis.
But slowly, a terrible change begin to happen,
An alien change came over men on the other ship.
Their eyes glazed over and they became pale,
It looked like death himself had marked those men.
The men on the healthy ship looked on in horror,
As their newfound friend turned into a zombie ship.
Their Captain, with a heavy heart,
Let out the order to alter course and separate.
I only wanted to be friends, more if I could,
If not, happy to remain friends if I should.
Yet I have not drifted away without reason,
It is your alienation that has made me gone. -
Something failed unexpectedly?A sudden disappointment which left you shocked, slightly angry but eventually full of pain and sorrow?Originally posted by HENG@:Alienation

Sometimes the other ship has other thing in mind and is it better for you to alter course earlier.
Keep your eyes open, there are many other ships out in the sea. And maybe one day you may find one ship that is willing to sail with you.
